Biology:Cordulegastroidea
Cordulegastroidea is a superfamily of dragonflies comprising the families Chlorogomphidae, Cordulegastridae and Neopetaliidae.[1][2]
The superfamily includes both living and extinct lineages, with fossil representatives known from the Jurassic and Cretaceous.[3][4]
Taxonomic history
The superfamily Cordulegastroidea was established by Hagen in 1875.[1]
Modern classifications recognise three extant families within the superfamily: Chlorogomphidae, Cordulegastridae and Neopetaliidae.[1][2]
The fossil clade Chlorogomphida, proposed by Bechly in 1996, broadly corresponds to Cordulegastroidea and related extinct stem groups.[1]
Phylogeny
Phylogenetic studies support Cordulegastroidea as a monophyletic group comprising Chlorogomphidae, Cordulegastridae and Neopetaliidae.[5][6][1]
Within modern dragonflies, Cordulegastroidea is generally recovered as the sister group to Libelluloidea.[5][1]

Etymology
The superfamily name Cordulegastroidea is derived from the type genus Cordulegaster and the zoological suffix -oidea, used for superfamilies.
The genus name Cordulegaster is derived from the Greek κορδύλη (kordylē, "club") and γαστήρ (gastēr, "belly" or "abdomen").[7]
Families
This superfamily includes the following families:[1][2]
Fossil record
The oldest known fossil members of Cordulegastroidea are the family Mesochlorogomphidae (containing Mesochlorogomphus and Hispanochlorogomphus) from the Barremian of England and Spain, and the family Araripechlorogomphidae (containing only Araripechlorogomphus) from the late Aptian of Brazil, both considered related to the Chlorogomphidae.[3][4]
The family Hemeroscopidae Pritykina, 1977, known from the Late Jurassic and Cretaceous, may also belong to this group.[8]
